With this news, it’s clear that Jim Tressel was a serial ignorer who lived by the Three Monkeys’ Credo.

We know nothing.

The question at this point is how Ohio State characterizes what happened with the NCAA. Since I don’t think the school can play the “who is this Jim Tressel fella you keep referring to?” card with any success, all that’s left to it is to paint the man who Gordon Gee deferred to as a matter of routine as a rogue coach who deliberately deceived the people who desperately wanted to make sure everything was above-board, yada, yada, yada.

Will it sell? I’m not feeling it, but you never know with the good people who work for Mark Emmert.

“the people who desperately wanted to make sure everything was above-board,” Gene Smith, Gordon Gee and Jim Delany, two of whom are untouchables as NCAA Illuminati. The third, Gene, will be given a lovely Hamiltonian parting gift.

Quote Of The Day

“I’m thrilled for this day to get here, and I’m excited to find out how a lot of these new guys learn. These practices are not easy, and the idea is to create adversity for your team and find out who your leaders are.” — Kirby Smart, Chattanooga Times Free Press, 8/1/17
